The Pope was hospitalized in Gemelli (Ansa)
The Pope was once again hospitalized at the Gemelli Polyclinic in Rome where he will have to undergo an operation. Francesco arrived at the hospital by entering the main entrance, greeted by a small crowd of journalists and onlookers. The Pontiff’s car, with tinted windows, entered the Gemelli building directly from a secondary passage, the same one used for the previous shelter. She was escorted by some blue cars from the Vatican and also from the Italian police. Now the Pope will go to the tenth floor. In the same building is the gastroenterology department.
Pope Francis at the “end of the general audience – the director of the Holy See Press Office, Matteo Bruni said in a communication to journalists – went to the Gemelli University Hospital where in the early afternoon he will undergo a general anesthesia Laparotomy surgery and abdominal wall plastic surgery with prosthesis”.
“The operation, coordinated in recent days by the medical team assisting the Holy Father, became necessary due to an incarcerated incisional hernia that it is causing recurrent, painful and worsening sub-occlusive syndromes. The hospitalization at the health facility will last several days to allow for the normal post-operative course and full functional recovery”.
